Crowe says he and his friend intended to capture fruit bats on film, and instead got something else. His link goes to a video posted under the username “ParallelUniverse1234″ and poses the question of “UFO?” in its title.

News.com.au reports a Crowe rep says the footage is about four years old. The site also notes it was tweeted shortly after Crowe made a sarcastic gripe related to the release of his movie “Broken City” in Australia.
